What does the Bible say about finding delight in God?
Answered in 1 source
The Bible teaches that true delight is found in God's presence, as expressed in Psalm 16:11.
Finding delight in God refers to deriving joy and fulfillment from a relationship with Him. Psalm 16:11 beautifully captures this sentiment, stating that 'In your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.' This joy stems from recognizing who God is and what He has done for us through Christ. The call to find our delight in God challenges believers to prioritize spiritual intimacy over transient pleasures. In connection with God's benignity, experiencing His kindness deepens our joy and satisfaction. Believers are thus encouraged to seek this delight actively, cultivating an appetite for spiritual sustenance and relationship with the Creator.
